    Oh lol And yes, do you know Bill Stickers or Bill Posters? What they done? They are always being prosecuted! lol.
    With my syllables in my poems, I consult Miss Cilla Berles for help.

    • Tom Dylan

      Haha! Yes, Orchi.. poor old Bill is always being prosecuted! 🙂 Love it!

      😅😂🤣 Wot is poetry if it is not playing with words? Kept me amused from beginning to end, Tom. Wish I had thought of it first!

      • Tom Dylan

        Thanks, Dave. Really appreciated. I had the idea ages ago, Benny Fisheries.. and finally got round to writing it. Mind you, this could go on and on, couldn't it? 🙂

        • Doggerel Dave

          You tell me, Mate - after that I'm leaving it to a professional......

            Billy O'Naire and his sister Millie... Mike Roscope... Julie Noted, Joy Ningfee.. 🙂

            A play on names loved it. In one form or another we have done something similar in the past. A most fun read.

            • Tom Dylan

              Thanks a lot for your comments, Soren. Really appreciated. I started with Benny Fishery and it kinda spiralled from there. Was a lot of fun coming up with them all. 🙂 Cheers, Tom.

              This has to be the cleverist and most entertaining poem I have ever read, no lie. I loved every line. Kudos dear poet, you have created a masterpiece!

              • Tom Dylan

                Aw thank you so much. I've had the idea to do something with names that sound like something else. Really glad you liked it. 🙂

              • Cheeky Missy

                You're too fun.

                • Tom Dylan

                  Thanks, Missy. 🙂

                • Dan Williams

                  This is way past clever. Very amusing. Well done.

                  • Tom Dylan

                    Thanks Dan, really appreciated.

                  • Thomas W Case

                    Very creative. Great work.
